North Korea Leader Kim Jong Un Calls For Nuclear Attack Preparedness On United States & South Korea
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for nuclear attack readiness against the United States and South Korea to deter war, accusing both countries of expanding joint military drills involving American nuclear assets, state media KCNA reported on Monday.
Kim’s remarks came as North Korea conducted two days of military exercises “simulating a nuclear counterattack”, including the firing of a ballistic missile carrying a mock nuclear warhead, KCNA said.
The state news agency said the drills were aimed at bolstering its “war deterrence and nuclear counterattack capability” to send strong warnings against the allies.

Kim, who oversaw the test, said the exercises improved the military’s actual war capability and highlighted the need to ensure its readiness posture for any “immediate and overwhelming nuclear counterattack” through such drills.
“The nuclear force of the DPRK will strongly deter, control and manage the enemy’s reckless moves and provocations with its high war readiness, and carry out its important mission without hesitation in case of any unwanted situation,” Kim was quoted as saying.
KCNA photos showed Kim attending the test with his young daughter as flames roared from the soaring missile before it hit the target.
The U.S. and South Korea have for weeks been carrying out annual exercises, including air and sea drills involving U.S. B-1B strategic bombers. Both country’s respective navies and marine corps are set to kick off their first large-scale Ssangyong amphibious landing exercises in five years on Monday for a two-week run until April 3. North Korea has frequently condemned these exercises, likening them to a dress rehearsal for an invasion.
